Next month, trainers from around the world will return to the Galar region in Pokémon Sword and Shield to visit The Isle of Armor - part one of the game's expansion pass content. Both of these areas will contain new characters, locations, and Pokémon not previously obtainable in the main game.

It looks like there'll also be some new moves as well. Dataminers have been digging around in the latest mobile version of the cloud-based storage service Pokémon HOME and have supposedly unearthed 21 moves - which are expected to be included alongside the game's DLC update. Take a look below:

Expanding Force

Steel Roller

Scale Shot

Meteor Beam

Shell Side Arm

Misty Explosion

Grassy Glide

Rising Voltage

Terrain Pulse

Skitter Smack

Burning Jealousy

Lash Out

Poltergeist

Corrosive Gas

Flip Turn

Triple Axel

Dual Wingbeat

Scorching Sands

Jungle Healing

Wicked Blow

Surging Strikes

One move that might sound familiar is Jungle Healing. It's the signature healing move of the new mythical Pokémon, Zarude. Here's a bit about it from the official Sword and Shield website:

Once Zarude reaches Lv. 90, it can learn Jungle Healing—a unique move only Zarude can learn.

In this Grass-type status move, the Pokémon wraps its vines around trees and absorbs their energy, then releases that energy combined with its own. Healing power radiates around the area and heals both the user and its ally Pokémon, restoring their HP and curing them of any status conditions.

Apart from this, there are no additional details about these moves. It probably isn't hard to guess the Pokémon types moves such as "Grassy Glide" and "Scorching Sands" match up with, either. The word "Coaching" is also included on this list, but dataminers seem to think it's a placeholder of sorts.

While this information does come from a datamine, take this all of this with a grain of salt. The Sword and Shield expansion pass containing The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra will set players back £26.99 / $29.99 and can be pre-purchased directly from the Switch eShop right now.

Still waiting for them to fix in the mobile app the Rockruff second non-registering form and the 9th Pikachu non-registering form ... as well as the Forfrous trims. It's been months and it seems Game Freak hasn't even noticed.

@playstation_king I don’t believe G-Max moves are in the coding for Pokemon Home, because like Z-Moves they only exist under certain conditions in battles. These are likely to be signature moves for new Galarian Pokemon and new move tutors that were announced in the initial DLC direct.

Anyway, quick analysis: Misty Explosion, Grassy Glide, Rising Voltage, Terrain Pulse are probably terrain-specific moves, and get probably powered up when used on their specific terrain (Terrain Pulse being the Psychic Terrain move, even though it seems like a general Terrain move).

Corrosive Gas sounds like a move Salazzle would learn, but thinking about it, it already have Corrosion has its ability, and Corrosive Gas could a version of Poison Gas that is able to poison Steel types. So it would make sense that other (poison type) Pokemon would get it, probably limited to a few.

Poltergeist sounds like a Polteageist move, but an Ghost could potentially learn it.

Shell Side Arm is probably an exclusive move for either Galarian Slowbro, Slowking, or both.

It seems like there's a lot of focus on the battle aspects in these DLC so adding new moves makes since. And an older datamine found updated move sets for some, but not all, of Pokemon not currently in SW/SH. So many suspect those are the Pokemon at least being considered for a return.

I think Zapdos with hurricane is my most anticipated change. Long overdue for him to get that move and I can't wait to abuse him in rain!

@playstation_king Very unlikely, almost all of the max moves have "Max-something" as their names.

One person posted their "datamine findings" without evidence of them doing the mine, we're allegedly assuming this is accurate because of the 1 datamine (everybody has access to the mobile version, but only 1 person datamined it, really?)

Also doesn't help that moves show their typings and descriptions in home which the dataminer didn't conveniently post in their leak. It can still be real, like 80% its real, but its not 100% confirmed until somebody else datamines it.

Lots of discussion on smogon about the datamine leak not being debunked yet.
